Sure many of us can understand and sympathize with how it happened- just as we might sympathize and understand why a Captain calls her commanding officer an ass to his face after his stupidity costs lives- while we simultaneously understand when charges are laid. There are right and wrong ways to do things, especially when it comes to the military.

Bold mine. Witnessed it first-hand - except it was an NCO doing the name calling and while everyone agreed completely, everyone also understood when demotion came about afterwards (both parties were reprimanded). Great example John. That phrase was "Spot on."
